I have a 10 gallon QT if you really need someone to treat him for a bit... it's not ideal, but better than dumping copper into your main tank. If you can't treat him or find someone with a bigger QT, let me know.

Also, the stress of transport might not help... so treat him yourself if you can. Good luck and let me know if I can help at all. It's a beautiful fish... good luck!
